[Quantum General] Carini33:
So I never saw a response to my post about rolling back to 7004, but I decided to update to Nodo anyways :D

All I did was change my phone to 000-80 to get the update(I think). I first tried it at work, turned off the data/wifi on the phone, looked for update in Zune, disabled my NIC after 3 seconds. It gave an error about not contacting the server. I then tried to look for an update again this time not disabling my NIC, and it gave the same error. Tired it a couple more times just in case.

I assumed the update server was blocked by the proxy at work. When I got home, I plugged my phone in Zune, it immediately came back and said 7008 was available, and then after that installed Nodo was available.

I'm not sure if what I did at work caused me to get the update a few hours later, but when I was at home, I didn't have to do any tricks at all. Still wondering about using the ROM to rollback to 7004, if anyone tries it, let me know how it goes.

Got NoDo today with 'unbranded' Quantum

Hi... just wanted to let people know that I received the NoDo update today via Zune, using the 'unbrand' registry hack described here.

Took about 15 mins, went very smoothly.
[G Tablet General] wd5gnr:
Naturally I bought a g Tablet Saturday and Woot has them today for almost $100 less! Oh well. Big big big improvement from my old FlyTouch2 which was a great idea poorly executed.

Immediately flashed VEGAn with supplements etc. All working VERY well but a few questions/observations.

1) If I wanted to hook this up to a USB or Bluetooth modem (well, actually a BlackBerry) it looks like there is no setup for this? Yes, I know if I could find a way to make the BB broadcast WiFi but its corporate so that's a nonstarter.

2) When I hold down the power button, the menu that comes up it clipped off at the bottom. Is that normal?

3) Screen lock on Kindle software is not getting the accelerometer fix somehow. The trick was to put the thing in portrait UPSIDE DOWN and lock the screen. That caused it to lock it 180 degrees off. But then when it is locked you can go back to right side up (to me, right side up is with the buttons to the top). Of course, if you want to lock it another way you have to experiment.

4) Camera Fun shows camera upside down. No big deal -- again accelerometer I think.

5) Sometimes I am sure the machine is asleep and when I turn it on it is booting from the birds screen. Anyone else seeing this?

6) I don't understand the .nomedia thing although I've read a lot about it. I don't seem to get files erased, but nothing shows up in Video. But if I navigate to the folder (on /mnt/sdcard2) and play videos that's fine. Then later the files will show up in video. Whoops spoke to soon. Now they are gone. What's up with that?

7) My old tablet had GPS but without the external antenna it was worthless. But it still managed to find rough location with WiFi somehow. I assume by figuring out the geographic location of the IP. That doesn't seem to work on this machine. Yes Use Wireless networks is checked in Location and security.

8) What's with the little plastic cover? How hard is it to take out? I don't want a little rubber dingle rolling around inside.

8) In System Preferences, About Device | Status consistently crashes.

9) Does the audio jack support a headset or just headphones? Yeah I know -- I could just try it.

If it matters I'm using Launcher Pro.

Still and all the VEGAn ROM is superb. Compared to the FlyTouch this is super fast, the screen is a joy, and the battery life wonderful. And with the woot deal only about $80 more than a FlyTouch2.
[G Tablet General] wd5gnr:
Ok I'll answer some of my own questions:

5) I think this is the unresponsive power button problem. If you press and wait it seems ok. If you press, get impatient and press again you might reboot.

9) No, at least not with a Blackberry headset.
[G Tablet General] TheKaz:
Most of these are answered on the forum somewhere, but I'll give it a shot..

I believe this is scrollable, but yes...

I get this sometimes, too. It is a known issue, and there may be solutions out there... I just deal with it.

Known issue.
[G Tablet General] B3ATTY:
These aren't much help (maybe reassurance?)

1) Pretty sure it's wifi only. Have trawled the internet looking for a usb or bluetooth alternative because wifi hammers the phone battery

2) It happens on mine as well, so it's not just you

5) Same here - I just turn it off when not in use now

7) Only GPS functionality seems to come with the need for an external GPS unit

8) Think this is normal

(Re reading above, it looks like I'm negative re VEGAn - this is not the case. It is way better than what came standard and does everything I need it to do)
[G Tablet General] wd5gnr:
Yeah I like it too. Haven't tried the others, but very satisfied with Vegan.
[G Tablet General] wd5gnr:
Another observation: Long pressing the Menu button (hardware) brings up the keyboard. However, long pressing the menu button on the status bar does NOT have that behavior.
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
Clemsyns newest kernel will fix sleep issues. Also has some other great improvements too.

Buttons on status bar do not respond to long presses. Home doesn't bring up its usual long press of recent apps either. Funny, i Never even tried long press on status bar keys before now.
[G Tablet General] wd5gnr:
I have Pershoot's kernel. I'll try changing. I presume I shouldn't need to clear too many things in CWM after flashing a kernel. Maybe the Dalvik cache?
[Thunderbolt General] kendive:
Just got my Tbolt and had a one day class in Houston... 4G area

I don't think the 4G is worth it because it kills the battery fast, but when forced it to 3G battery life seems to be good.

Also I noticed the same old problem with the DINC as the TBolt

The Volume is way to loud when just using the phone to your ear, But when I turn on Hearing aids in the Call menu the volume seems to be alot lower.

What gives... I know running SkyRaider 3.5 I had DSP Manager and I use it to turn the volume all the way down and that helped alot.
[Thunderbolt General] ERIFNOMI:
I think the call volume is too high too. I had a Droid before this and I don't think I ever used the phone above minimum volume.
[Thunderbolt General] kendive:
Yes I keep my volume all the way down and it's still too loud.
[Thunderbolt General] fillyo:
I am a 4g area and I am getting atleast 10 hours of battery life, with moderate use, the fact 4g kills your battery is overrated, unless you are on the fringe of 4g/3g and it goes in and out.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech4petro:
I am new to this site, but hope to root and flash both my Inc. and wife's Eris. So the wife has an Eris and it is starting to screw up. When we got the phones I told her it would never be a Ferrari. Two days ago all the icons disappeared and the phone is so slow. She has threatened me with going out and getting an Iphone. My you know what puckered at the mention of that. This brings me to my question. I would like suggestions on a Rom that has sense and is reasonably peppy. Because this is the wife's phone I do not have the luxury of doing trial and error with different Roms. I am just looking for something that is similar to stock but actually works. I take it that I can find all of the instructions for rooting and flashing in the general section. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, my wallet thanks you too!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chlila:
xtrSENSE 5.0.1 - there is no comparison! This is by far the best 2.1 ROM out there.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech4petro:
Is there any sense in putting a Froyo Rom on her phone?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chlila:
Froyo ROMs are easily customizable, and there are several options for that in the Themes and Apps forum. Froyo has other improvements - for some, however, the seamless integration of Sense features keeps them with 2.1 instead of upgrading to 2.2 or 2.3. You may want to ask her what she looks for in a phone, and use this priority list to determine which ROM to load (e.g. battery life, speed, looks and customization, stability, etc.)

There are several great Froyo options - I'd recommend FroShedYo. And for Gingerbread, I'd recommend GSB (GingerShedBread).
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech4petro:
She texts and does e-mail. What she wants most is speed and battery life. Do any of the roms have problems running regular apps (angry birds, weatherbug,yahoo mail) etc.?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chlila:
ROM problems with running regular apps seems to be user-specific and not general to a ROM or group of ROMs (i.e. Eclair, Froyo, GB).

For speed and battery life I'd choose either GSB or xtrSENSE. That's just my two cents! You can see from browsing the threads that everyone has their favorites. I've been pleased with the support from the developers of both GSB and xtrSENSE. As I've played with ROMs on my phone I've pulled my wife along (sometimes unwillingly). She's staying with GSB and I'm staying with xtrSENSE.

Happy hunting!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech4petro:
What are the differences between the two?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
First, I +1 xtrSENSE. It just works, and works extremely well.

Second, the difference is that xtrSENSE is very much based on the most recent March OTA official release, which is based on Android 2.1 (Eclair). zach.xtr has customized it so that it overclocks, underclocks, has more internal memory for apps, and more.

All those features are available to Froyo (2.2) and Gingerbread (2.3) ROMs except that they are usually based on CyanogenMod, either v6 which is Froyo-based or v7 which is Gingerbread-based. While CyanogenMod is great, and includes all sorts of bells and whistles beyond even the improvements of Froyo and Gingerbread alone, there is no Sense UI like on the stock-based ROMs like xtrSENSE.

Sense has some features not available to other ROMs for the Eris. Like Flash Lite, which doesn't matter to me, but it does to some. You might get an idea if you read the top of the first post of the xtrSENSE ROM thread of what else is special about Sense.

CM7 (CyanogenMod v7) isn't final yet, so it's still a work in progress and has bugs or "quirks" plus features being added and de-bugged and changed. I don't mind, and a lot of people don't, because I/we (if I may speak for some others) flash every new update; usually at least one per week if not more often.

That said, CM7 has developed very fast, much faster than it seemed like CM6 did. I assume because they were able to take a lot of what they learned from CM6 and apply it to CM7. I suspect that Gingerbread was less of a drastic change from Froyo than Froyo was from Eclair.

But for flashing someone else's phone who's going to have to rely on it day by day, I'd recommend xtrSENSE.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JRngln:
I pretty much agree although I haven't tried xtrSENCE.

I will say this though, and it will be my signature,

(as soon as I figure out how to get it there) :p

"gsb bringing new meaning to EOL> Extraordinary Operational Longevity" :D
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
^ hehehehe...nice!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the kid escobar:
I used XTRSENSE for a little bit but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for in a rom. That being said, it is extremely reliable and familiar to those who are used to sense. Just be sure to download the Eris Market Fix apk. from the market after flashing the rom, or your wife may have problems with YouTube etc...
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
I have never had to do that with xtrSENSE or xtrROM.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech4petro:
Wow

Thanks for the great info. I think I will try xtrsense. Hopefully I won't brick her phone.

Good luck!
[HTC Inspire 4G] SysAdmNj:
I really enjoyed the Inspire but I started to get all crazy reception issues where I couldnt make a call or receive sometimes. Anyone else having these issues? Someone at the att store said alot of ppl are complaining of this.

Yesterday I exchanged for the atrix and it felt a lil bit more snappy, nothing to wow me but I could make calls and receive, no issues at all. My main issue was it would hardly charge on usb from any pc I used, and it would get really hot trying so right there I said, this is going back. In less than 24hrs I was back at the AT&T store to get a new inspire.

I really dont want to have any reception issues, and I almost believe all the flashing roms, radios, kernels, I messed something up along the way. Heck, Im even scared to root now. I want to use the phone totally stock and make sure it works great whereever I am before I root even. I'm also wondering if rooting causes battery to drain quicker.

So I ask all you experienced Android users/developers. Am I right in believing that all the flashing I've done might of messed my reception? Even maybe rooting might have messed something up? If not, is there a way to make a complete backup right now, so I can go right back to this when I do begin to root and what not. I almost feel like the stock rom, when I went back to it and unrooted before I returned the last inspire made no difference. The new Inspire seems to hold a better signal now. So can I back up the current stock rom before I do anything?
[HTC Inspire 4G] pokey9000:
Interested to hear what advice this drums up. I went from Atrix (painfully bad PenTile LCD, shamelessly locked down) to Inspire back to my old N1 because I got a few days of no signal and missed calls in the office. I read recently that there's some sort of leaked magical radio that fixes a lot of the issues, so I'm keeping an eye towards the Inspire. $20 at Costco is a worthy use of my contract upgrade.

Yeah, there are other phones coming down the pike. I'm stuck with AT&T and given this is an otherwise solid phone and how awesome HTC tech support has been with my N1 I don't want to go with another mfr. Also Optimus 3D has only 512MB RAM? WTF?
[HTC Inspire 4G] sheanzyy:
If you have patience, your issues will be ironed out. Inspire ROMs and development is still kind of early.

If you just be patient, GPS...reception....bugs....will all be a thing of the past. Both devices are excellent. HTC build quality and 'openness' is something to envy. Just relax, I think you made a wise choice.
[HTC Inspire 4G] serialtoon:
Just out of curiosity, what rom were you running when you started having issues? I'm on stock with root and have yet to have any problems with gps or reception.
[HTC Inspire 4G] designgears:
nailed my main problems right there (in bold)...
[HTC Inspire 4G] p4ranoid4ndroid:
Nice to see you lingering in the inspire forums DG
[HTC Inspire 4G] berdo:
I purchased the Inspire the day it came out and absolutely loved it. That one had major issues with the screen. It would not register my touch about 80% of the time. So I exchanged that one for another Inspire and the second one had all sorts of problems. Dropped calls, calls no received, no VM notification, random reboots, and of course the always popular, locked phone that required a battery pull.

At that point I just thought the Inspire was not that great of a phone so I exchanged for the Atrix. When the phone arrived I knew two seconds after it booted that I hated the phone. It felt cheap, it was tiny, and Motoblur reminded me too much of TouchWiz - which is a shame because the guts of the phone should have made it a monster but Moto has a long way to go with their Motoblur. Within 2 hours of getting the Atrix I took it back.

So, I am on my third Inspire and so far so good. No missed calls, dropped calls, texts, no reboots, no locks, no problems at all. Right now I am rooted running the stock rom. I have tried a few different roms - RCMiXHD_v5X, LeeDroid_HD v2.2.2, and Android Revolution 4G. I had GPS issues with LeeDroid and Revolution and data problems with RCMiXHD. The phone has performed pretty dang good with root+Stock so I will probably keep it that way. Hopefully a GB version will drop soon because I do like the extra features that brings.

Anyway, thats just my experience.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gflare:
This thread is getting some good information placed in it, and a good OP as well.

My recommendation is that you follow the hack kit, but stick to ROMs based off of the Stock Inspire ROM for now. As much as I enjoy a UV/OC kernal, I can't say it's making a huge impact in my day-to-day use of this phone. I'm running AR 3.2, without any issues right now on the stock inspire radio, but my next flash will probably be a ROM like ClearDroid.

I also wish we had an easy stock backup procedure, but as far as i know we're stuck with the reflash + s-off combo.

As a side note:

Where the heck did DG come from?! It's good to see you popping your head in here. I started with your Super-rooter and lived on Cognition and Perception for my Captivate.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
CoreDroid HD 4.6

RCMix HD 5.3

Android Revolution HD 4.0

MIUI

All of those are Gingerbread ROMs, there's always CM7, and 2 devs are currently working on an AOSP
[HTC Inspire 4G] SysAdmNj:
Im not sure which rom was the culprit, I dont want to bad mouth anyones work as it could of just been my doing and I definitely appreciate the hard work and effort the devs put in. But I did experience a few issues trying the revolution rom, I tried different versions. But I also tried several other roms so I cant really pinpoint. I know I like the revolution but would have to leave it because of issues, I kept trying though.

I cant really recall as battery life hasnt been a huge issue for me on the inspire, but for everyone that has rooted their phone, would you say battery life improved or worsened? I'm probably going to root later on tonight.

Oh and why no 'one click' root/unroot scripts for the Inspire yet? Just wondering, because even the atrix had a one click root script.
[HTC Inspire 4G] berdo:
Yeah I meant more of a legit release not a leaked version. I have tried RCMix and Adroid Revolution and had issues with both. Nothing major but enough for me to go back to stock.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Zamdam1:
I'm having an oposite dilemma.. I first bought the Atrix and then after i noticed a little lag when unlocking the device i bought the Inspire.. I had the Atrix for 2 weeks and i have had the Inspire for 1 week.

What i have noticed about the Inspire is that when I try to open a .doc file thats only 62kb large, its not nearly as smooth as the Atrix with the scrolling and double tapping to zoom in. I dont know why this is... 62kb is pretty small. When i had the Atrix, it opened the same file super fast and there was no lag at all..

Also, with websites like adultswim and phonedog which has a lot of flash, the Inspire lags quite a bit compared to the Atrix which has little to no lag.

Im very tempted to go back to the Atrix and just live with the little bit of lag when unlocking.. IDK what i should do..
[HTC Inspire 4G] SysAdmNj:
Well good luck in your decision. I dont doubt the Atrix was a tad faster at some things left stock, but that wasnt a main concern for me as I know on the Inspire a rom here a kernel there can remedy that.

I've actually opened .doc and .xls files close to that size on a daily basis with no real lag issue. Then again I'm using Documents To Go, app I used from my Blackberry days. Works pretty smoothly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Zamdam1:
Thats weird cause i used quickoffice to open the .doc and it was really laggy just now, being on the phone at the same time..
[HTC Inspire 4G] rjayflo:
Though the Inspire is able the flash roms ....Atrix is by far a better phone. I've played with cousins Inspire, it doesn't compare to my Atrix
[HTC Inspire 4G] Roland_D:
I m running the rooted stock rom self-cleaned from the ATT bloat with TiBU in chuck norris mode... No problem with my GPS, no problem with the reception... battery life around one day of pretty intensive use... I notice altough I m not having issues as i mentioned the signal's strength displayed is always pretty low (2/3 on 5)...

I tried ClearDroid but since it was pretty much the same as my 'self-purified' stock i just got back to it... :p

I don't think the reception's issue was related to the rooting itself... some device is just kinda defective from factory...
[HTC Inspire 4G] stormtrooper1:
In the end it boils down to personal preferences.

I had both and got rid of the Atrix for the Inspire because of screen size and its speedy as is out the box. Don't really see the need for a Dual CoreS unless I'm gonna shell out more cash for the laptop Which I see is pointless since I might as well lug around my Vaio i7. In the end I'm happy with the Inspires build quality and performance.

AT&T U.S. Rooted

CoreDroid 2.3.3 v4.6 HD

Inspire 4G / Desire HD
[HTC Inspire 4G] SysAdmNj:
It depends on your needs/preferences. Specs wise, yes the Atrix might be better but the Atrix does have its issues as well which irked me enough to come back to the Inspire which I liked so much I'm willing to give it a second try. One thing is for sure, I cant see myself getting another Motorola device anytime soon. Been there a few times, and had bad experiences with their locked devices. HTC has been the better experience for me so far and I'm enjoying the Inspire more than I did the Atrix.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rjayflo:
Very true about preference...I like the Inspire's size wouldn't want to go bigger. Many hate motor for locking down the BL....but it seems like HTC will be doing the same on future devices
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Happy to see DG posting over here. I hope that means we'll be seeing more of him :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] freit5:
I've had both but sent my Inspire back because it felt like I was holding a metal brick.

The difference in screen size between the 2 is only .3 of an inch. I was coming from an Aria so the bigger screen was great but did you really notice that much of a difference between the size of the screens?
[HTC Inspire 4G] AvengerBB:
I too have had reception issues with my Inspire. I came from a captivate which seemed to get receptions in many more places. I'm wondering if I have a bad phone or it's just the design?
[HTC Inspire 4G] hiltun:
At first I had the Atrix (for 3 weeks) it was fast and cool to use Android for the first time.

I sent the Atrix back because the Internal memory locked up (it was searching for errors) after it rebooted on its own while I was copying a movie to the internal storage. I had other issues with using the finger scanner/lock button. I had to press the button 2 or 3 times to get the screen to come on. It would vibrate but nothing would happen.

It was easy to root the Atrix. I have not tried to root the Inspire yet.

I can't really tell the difference between the Inspire and the Atrix. I probably would if they where next to each other. The Inspire is still MUCH faster than the 3G I had.

The Inspire has much better copy/paste and a better keyboard. I like being able to move the cursor with arrows.

I like having the bigger screen too. Much easier to type on and less mistakes typing.
